This is an excellent recipe!!! Flavors are good and hearty. My two cents here, people rate this recipe and don't follow it to the letter. How do you think you can rate a recipe without following it? No really folks, you do it as written and if you don't it isn't the recipe and ya can't judge it fairly.

Good stuff! I changed the recipe up a bit to make it vegan and didn't sacrifice any flavor...used a soy chorizo and then used a couple tablespoons of vegan bacon bits instead of ham which provided that smoky flavor. In the end I added I can of diced tomatoes. . .juice and all. It tasted a lot like my chorizo chili which I love.

DH requested red beans and rice the other night, and never having made them, I of course turned to 'Zaar. I decided to go with this recipe after reading several as it sounded yummy. And I wasn't wrong! The only thing I did different was to use smoked sausage instead of the ham, and I cut way back on the Tabasco (which I was glad I did). I added a little chicken stock to the whole mixture to create more of a sauce since I made steamed rice to put it over, instead of mixing the rice in the same pot (DH's request). We both really enjoyed it - it has great flavors and it so simple to make! I'll be making it again!
